EIFF Review: Lie with Me

Filed under: Reviews

Many sexually-explicit activities occur in this film, but I think that it's the strong introspective nature of the characters and their circumstances that gives Lie with Me its heart of gold. Debating the nature of attraction versus the power of bonds we have with people and things while reconciling sex against love makes for some very heady material.

Things get sticky in this thoughtful and incredibly provocative picture when two people, Leila and David, embark on a relationship. For her, the sex comes the easiest but for David, he is looking for something deeper than what Leila may be able to provide.

This was a challenging piece to digest with its strong themes and imagery, but well worth the time put in.
